Kemadruma and Sakata Yogas
The Moon signifies the Mind. When the Moon is isolated or ill-placed, it creates certain challenging yogas that affect a person's psychological stability and worldly comforts.
| Type of Yoga | Formation and Result |
|---|---|
| Kemadruma Yoga | Formed when there are no planets (excluding Sun and Rahu/Ketu) in the signs adjacent to the Moon.
Result: Creates deep mental isolation (loneliness), poverty, and dependence on others. However, if benefic planets are in Kendras, this yoga gets cancelled (Bhanga). |
| Sakata Yoga | Formed when Jupiter is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house from the Moon.
Result: 'Sakata' means a wheel. Life fluctuates like a spinning wheel—wealth and fame are never stable. |
| Remedy | Worshipping Lord Shiva and seeking the sight of the full moon (Purnima) provides mental peace and mitigates these lunar afflictions. |
